Taiwan vice president makes rare Europe visit for democracy conference
It is rare for an official as senior as Taiwan's vice president to visit Europe, given the risk of backlash from Beijing against the host nation.
Oleksandra Matviichuk, a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and president of Ukraine's Centre for Civil Liberties, is expected to participate in the conference.
Italy has no formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan.
